A mob yesterday gouged out the eyes of three youths who snatched a motorcycle.
The three, aged around 18 years, were caught by the mob near Shritala, about 40km from Nawada in Bihar after they seized the motorcycle at gunpoint from one Saket Kumar.
Saket offered no resistance to the pistol-toting threesome but used his mobile phone to inform a relative whose village fell on the way the thieves took.
A mob was waiting for the three and they were dragged off the stolen motorcycle as soon as they appeared, punched and kicked before their eyes were pierced and gouged out with a sharp tool, Shritala police station officer in-charge Manoj Kumar said.
A police team managed to rescue the youths before the mob could lynch them.
Manoj said an officer of Buniyadganj police station in the neighbouring Gaya district confirmed that the three, identified as Pintu Singh, Guddu Singh and Rakesh Singh, had criminal antecedents.
